This is a horse chat thread where we share ideas, ask for input from other horsemen, and talk about our riding and horse-keeping. We have a lot of different kinds of riders and horses, and a lot to share. In the previous threads we have had a great time talking through lessons, training, horse lamenesses, illnesses and pregnancies... and always sharing pictures and stories.
I always have a link to this thread on my profile page, so if you have something to say and can't find the thread in latest posts… look for it there and wake the thread up!
I also have a ping list for horse threads that are of interest, and MissTargets will now be pinging everyone most mornings. Let MissTargets and/or me know if you would like to be on the ping list. As FreeRepublic is a political site, our politics and other issues will probably blend in…. There are many issues for horsemen that touch politics… land use, animal rights/abuse cases that make the news…. Legislation that might affect horse owners.
So... like the previous threads, this is intended as fun place to come and share stories, pictures, questions and chit-chat, unguided and unmoderated and that we come together here as friends. There are lots of ways of doing things and we all have our quirks, tricks and specialties that are neat to learn about.

New folk and occasional posters, jump right in and introduce yourselves, tell us about your horses, and post pictures if you've got them!
Thank you, I appreciate that very much. Thank goodness my horse vet never hesitates to come out. :~\
Hope your cat is good today. Let us know.

Yeeeouch! That looks bad! I've had probably 20 barn cats spayed in the last 15 years or so and I've had 'em swell up, but not nearly that big. I'm glad you called vet. Hopefully it's nothing serious but I'd be on their doorstep when they opened up. Let us know how it goes.
At least your saddle was on tight. That is more than I can say for myself and a big Western saddle. My military saddle had a circingle and there was never a question about that saddle being loose. Luckily, I was never bucked out of the military saddle. Although my boots were out of the stirrups a couple of times. One of those times I had a sabre in my hand which I threw away as soon as I determined the situation was out of control. Once my horse calmed down I went back and picked it up.
Yep, falling on a 3' long pointy object would definately put a damper on the day. ;o)
The same thing applied to doublebarrel scatterguns and revolvers. : )
I hated those things since it was a fact that very few carried them. Yet, it was said that the crowds liked to see sabre fights on horseback. Go figure....
Hair, hope the kitten is ok this morning.
Well, it's bigger this morning, but she feels good, and we'll be there when they open in a couple hours.
The fact that she feels good would make me feel better, but I still would want her checked.
Did they say what that knot under the skin of Pippin was?
Just because I'm an impatient person:), I think I'm going to take Harley and my saddles over to the saddle shop today. I'll call first to make sure the guy is going to be there. But I don't see why I can't get his opinion now, then tomorrow go to the vet.

Sounds like one of his floating ribs has got little "fingers". Weird!
